VanCamp explained: "It's all about making me laugh. I can be quite serious sometimes so laughing is key.

"I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. That's how I was raised, and that's something I look for. And humility. I think people who lack humility are really annoying."

VanCamp also revealed the reasons behind her break-up with ex-boyfriend and Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan.

"I'm working non-stop in LA, he's working in Atlanta. It kind of makes it impossible. It doesn't take away from the love that two people have, and I think he's extraordinary," she said.
